Scott re-joins Lincoln on loan

The 20-year-old enjoyed a successful spell with the League Two side last season, scoring twice in 14 league appearances, as the Imps booked a place in the play-offs.

Wharton, who this week signed a new long-term contract at Ewood Park, will now be given an opportunity to gain further first team experience with Danny Cowley's side during the upcoming League Two campaign.

A product of the club's Academy, Wharton has made six appearances in a Rovers shirt since making his debut against Burton Albion in the Championship in August 2016.
